Applications: How Electromagnetically Sharp is a Needle?  (This was quite a debate between two of our contemporary electromagnetic theory 'greats' -- Van Bladel and Uslenghi)  Check out their discussion and comments to each other on the Library Reserve Page for this class.  This is also a cool example of how peer review works in technical publication.
